*****************************

As Demon and I walked down the road that would lead us to the only tavern closest to the docks, there were many who eyed Demon probably thinking of stealing him but when they looked at me they soon thought better of it because of the weapons that I carried though I like the bow I am exceptional skilled and the duel swords .

Demon and I soon reached the tavern were our good friend Lilly worked and the only tavern close to the docks were those pirates would most likely be at. Though most of the men in there are bandits, conniving merchants they all knew me and knew of my place in the Royal family, if you could even call it that, they also knew of my dream to escape it and live in the sea were I knew I belonged at. They all supported me and this dream of mine when so many people that were supposed to be better than them laughed right in my face and told me that a women is only meant to stay out of the way and bear the man children nothing more nothing less maybe my step siblings would like that but as for me I planed to be long gone after my 18th birthday and I planned to go to the sea and let her do with me as she saw fit. though I may love my kingdom and would love to one day rule over it I knew that my step mother would see to it that I never got that crown and it would be given to my step sister that throws herself at any good looking and high ranking man that she could and her name was, Marlene, and she was as vile a creature as her mother was.

Entering the tavern I looked around for any unfamiliar faces and soon spotted them in a dark corner in the far left of the place all of them were facing the door and windows to see those that came and went in the tavern.

It suddenly became quiet in the tavern when I walked in but soon it went back to its usually self and I walked over to the bar were my favorite girl Lilly worked behind the bar and when she looked up to see me she smiled and hopped over the bar to give me a bear hug " Red how are you it's been so long since you last came me and the boys were think'en you had abandon us" " Oh Lily the day I leave you and the boys behind is when my siblings learn how to sword fight" I said while laughing, but the stares of the strange men that sat in the corner did not go unnoticed by me as it felt like they were trying to burn holes into my cloak's hood that I had not yet taken off.

"Lilly can you get me a mug of ale Demons been a good boy for the stable hands and I think that he deserves a reward" there was suddenly loud laughter and I turned around to find where it was coming from when I found that it was coming from a big muscled he had hair a gold as the wheat fields I knew that he was not from here for he was in the corner with the men that were from the pirate ship and all of the boys here knew who Demon was and that when he was good I would give him the ale he liked I blame Thomas for getting my horse started on ale.

I was about to brush the man's laughing off as him laughing at something one of the men at the table had said but what he said next made me do something else entirely " The little man in his red cloak looks far too young to be here and to drink ale like true man but instead he gets it for someone else that is too sissy to come in on his own this town is weak I do not see what Eric sees in this pathetic town"

I could take anything a beating from my step-mother or siblings I could take anyone's bad mouthing to me because I liked to go to the tavern didn't mean everyone liked me instantly it had taken some time before we all became close friends in this tavern and they had all learned never to insult my horse even if you didn't know that he was one they would face my wrath and hell has no fury like a woman's wrath and he dared to call me a man maybe it was because women don't normally come into these kinds of places.
